I'm young, rich and I'm thuggin it
And girl, I don't give a fuck who your husband is
I gotta have you on my seat, five-six, thighs thick
A little ghetto queen, we'll get our freak on like Missy
Drink Cris-ty, be pissy, smoke Crip-ty, be wit me
Let's flee in the big body
Take it to the house, to the house party
That's right, I'mma holla mami
I'mma hop in the Benz, you follow, mami
I want to play at the playground, mami
Shut up and lay down, mami
(Hook)

(Trina)
Oh, now want to chase me
You want to take me
To the diamond district and lace me
You want to fly me to Hawaii
Anything I want, you'll buy me
You just met me, but you sweatin me
You want to freeze my wrist and brigette me
You want to fuck me, you want to touch me
You want to lock me down, handcuff me
That's cool but I got my own cash
You can keep your bread, I got long cash
Now that just sounds like game to me
You ain't half the player that you claim to be
(Hook)

What you want? Ten, fifteen, twenty G's
That's nothing, we can shop for Prada shit
Ain't nothing to a player, but a scholarship
So leave the lights on and the camera on
Slim waist, lil thick lil Amazon
So let's those panties on, lay it down girlfriend
Once I get this on, I want to take you home
And ride it, ride it, back it up and slip and slide it
(Hook 2x)

The song "I Wanna Holla" by Trina featuring Deuce Poppi is a playful and provocative track about a man trying to woo Trina with his wealth and charm, but Trina insists that she is independent and does not need a man for financial support. The song is an affirmation of female empowerment, where Trina shows that she is in control of her own life and does not need a man to validate her. Deuce Poppi’s verses talk about his luxurious lifestyle and how he can provide for Trina, but Trina remains firm in her decision and asserts that she can provide for herself.
The lyrics display a subtle play of gender roles and societal expectations where Deuce Poppi represents the man who is supposed to be the provider and protector in a relationship, while Trina represents a successful and independent woman who does not need a man’s financial support. The irony in the song lies in the fact that Trina's success is what attracts Deuce Poppi, but Trina does not need or want his money.
The overall tone of the song is confident and assertive, with Trina standing up for herself and her independence. The catchy chorus and playful banter between Trina and Deuce Poppi make the song an enjoyable listen.
